If you need to forward frames within a local network without routing, which MikroTik concept is used?

• A. Bridge
• B. RouterOS
• C. Terminal
• D. QuickSet

Answer: (A)

Bridging operates at layer 2 to forward frames within the same local network. In MikroTik RouterOS, a Bridge lets you group multiple interfaces so they behave as a single LAN segment. Frames arriving on one bridged port are forwarded to the appropriate destination port based on the destination MAC address; if the destination MAC is unknown, the frame is flooded to all other bridged ports. This preserves a single broadcast domain and avoids IP routing between devices on those ports. The other options refer to the operating system as a whole (RouterOS), a command-line interface (Terminal), or a setup wizard (QuickSet), none of which implement this layer-2 frame forwarding behavior.
